Dublin:
Just in passive reading, your posts are reflective of your great soul and will always be. Godspeed and fare well on your journey, and may the release be empowering for you. I will rally our crew to meet you at the other side of the bridge.
David:
Thanks for sharing your deep love in words, it’s truly inspiring. Would that we could all be so lucky to have someone like you to conduct our last vigil and share so much life, past present and future.

Goodbye, Dublin! We loff you! {hugs to Mr. Dublin}
Thank you dear David for thinking of us at this time of sorrow for you. Though many of us never met DD in person we have all been touched by her.
God bless you and your family as you face the dark days ahead. I’m praying for you and for a safe passage for DD.
God Bless~~

thank you so sincerely, Erin-some days I don’t know how you do your job.
I keep a vigil. Embracing all the sentiments shared here this afternoon regarding our horses. I wish so much I could do more. Thank you, again, June
It will be the same beam of light that has touched each of our hearts.

Megajingles headed your way, Dublin and Mr. D.
Warmest regards, did not have the chance to know Dublin, but she sounds incredibly strong and wonderful… She has now crossed that Rainbow bridge… So much sadness for all, but happiness and painless at last for her.

My thoughts are with you, Dave, and the rest of your family.
Where one story ends another begins.
Godspeed
Prayers & curb chain jingles coming your way!
Just today in my Computer Ethics seminar course, we were discussing whether or not it was possible to trust anyone, let alone form friendships, on the internet.
I think this proves it possible. Once again I’m amazed by the depth and magnitude of this BB.
I wasn’t lucky enough to have gotten to know Dublin, but she sounds truly wonderful. God bless.

We are celebrating her wonderful life and making sure that her passing, when it comes, is accompanied by our love, prayers, good wishes and the a chorus of jingles.
Thank you God fort giving Dublin a peaceful passing. I wrote a message to her last night, but then did not post it because just the writing of it seemed to be enough. But it is almost freaky, now that I have seen David’s post about her passing.
Last night, I wrote that I was showing a baby green horse today in Ocala, who I had not jumped around a course since last August. I asked Dublin to come “ride with me” and give me the benefit of her talent.
Today, I entered the ring for my first class shortly after 11AM. As I got on, I silently said, “OK DeeDee, let’s go, girl”. And each time as I re-entered the ring for the next round (4 in all) I surrepticiously patted my shoulder and said, “OK DeeDee, 8 more spots; I can do it with you riding with me.”
Beyond all my expectations (even all my dreams), we were Champion!
Then I come back to the board tonight and find out that DeeDee passed on shortly before I walked into the ring for the first round.
This may sound spooky, but, I JUST KNOW that she was with me, helping me find spots and ride better than I knew how.
Way to go, DeeDee — Thanks for your help. I hope you had as much fun as I did! I am sorry you did not get to ride again in this world but we had a helluva show today, didn’t we? I show again next week and you had better be there to ride with me again. I need you!
As I travelled the cancer wards during my residency, I saw no more transcendent souls than my terminal patients. It taught me to believe that the spirit prevails while the body fails. May you go in peace, sweet Dublin and we know you will be with us, your family, whenever we draw in breath, watch the birds fly off, feel the wind rustle the trees, and embrace the warm bold power of our, and your, beloved four-legged friends.
From Mudsville, USA
Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love’s sake. Amen.

This is from an email from Dave this evening…
I stayed with her all night, hoping she
would make it until her mom and sister came this morning. They made it,
and shortly after, her doctor told us her lungs and heart were still
pretty strong, so we may have a few days until she can no longer fight.
I have been talking to her and trying to encourage her not to struggle.
She has been brave enough and tough enough long enough…
I am too sad to write anything.
